Shaq found it tough to score efficiently in the solid interior defense, while Michael Jordan continued to perform, although his shooting percentage wasn't as freakish as in the first half, he still nailed several difficult jump shots, adding another 10 points in the quarter.

Roger scored 8 points in the quarter, after all, most of the ball possession was with Shaq.

Originally, Roger's jump shots had clawed back some points, but O'Neal's foul at the end of the third quarter put the Magic in a bind.

With 54 seconds left in the third quarter, after missing two consecutive shots, Jordan chose to forcefully drive into the lane. He jumped facing Shaq, sticking out his tongue in midair, a sign he was about to start showing off.

But a infuriated Shaq, with a clothesline foul, took Jordan down directly, then turned to look at the referee, "Does that count as a foul?"

Of course, it did.
